Monday.com Shares Hit 52-Week Low on Weak Growth Forecast
Monday.com shares plummeted to a 52-week low on Monday after the work-management software provider issued a cautious outlook for the coming year and scrapped its long-term revenue targets. Despite beating quarterly earnings estimates, the company's conservative guidance fueled investor concerns over slowing growth, sending the stock down 22% in midday trading.
Strategic Retreat from 2027 Targets
Chief Financial Officer Eliran Glazer confirmed that the company is moving away from its goal of reaching $1.7 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2027. Glazer attributed the shift to "macroeconomic noise" and persistent choppiness in the company’s "no-touch" business segment. He noted that the revised guidance reflects figures the company can execute against with "high confidence" and does not account for a potential rebound in top-of-funnel activity.The cautious outlook overshadowed a relatively strong fourth quarter. Monday.com reported adjusted earnings of $1.04 per share, surpassing Wall Street’s expectations of 92-cents. However, the company noted that operating margins were pressured by the appreciation of the Israeli shekel against the dollar. With approximately 55% of its workforce based in Israel, the company expects currency fluctuations to remain a headwind through 2026.
Key performance indicators from the latest report include:
- Adjusted earnings of $1.04 per share, beating the 92-cent estimate.
- Quarterly revenue of $333.9 million, up from $278 million a year earlier.
- A net profit of $76.7 million, compared to $23 million in the prior-year period.
